Walsall Friendly: Match Thread

[chrisw1]

Wtf we’re Blues doing swapping Jota for Gardner?

[Steve67]

 Given the substitutes are currently warming up on the pitch, it doesn’t look like we are going to change the team at half-time. There will probably be a rush of substitutions throughout the second half but it looks like we are sticking with the same side that finished the first half.

Highway robbery of the Dick Turpin stylee. We gave them Gary Gardner and just a couple of million quid? Fantastic player.

Jota=bargain of the season!

[LukeJames]

Jota has looked the part in every game he has played, liking the look of Guilbert too, Wesley very promising. Absolutely need a proper DM though, hopefully the Brazilian will be the one.

[Mister E]

Mings looks flakiest at the back.
Green and Hotlips look substandard elsewhere.
We don't normally muller them, do we?

[Villafirst]

Crying out for a quality DM player - Luiz hopefully??

[Mister E]

And, since my last post was a little negative: Guilbert, Jota, Engels and Wesley look very good.

[Nii Lamptey]

First watch of the new boys.... impressed by Guilbert and Jota down the right. LB seems good going forward but not sure on what I’ve seen defensively. Wesley looking good but let’s see how he fairs against the big boys first.
Green needs to (at the very least) be loaned out - Jota has done more in a villa shirt in his short career with us.
Be interesting to see how we fair with this Brazilian kid from Man City.... starting to think we might surprise a few this season 🤞🏼

Rearrange; chicken headless, for Green except for that one shot.

I just hope they haven't kept the receipt.

Jota could prove to be bargain of the summer. Wes looks like he’s getting better and more involved. Jack looks as sharp as a tack.
Back 4 looks a little unorganised, but thats to be expected with the new guys settling in.
And green looks out of his depth, even at this level.

[themossman]

Jota looks great, Wesley and Gilbert decent (although got done just before their goal).

I disagree on Mings, he's made a couple of mistakes where he was being a bit too casual but he's also stopped everything that's gone near him.

Hourihane has been poor, Green is still very frustrating and Lansbury still has a bit of a habit of admiring the last thing he did rather than getting on with it.

[Steve67]

Who are we playing the week before the season kicks off, friendly wise please?

He kissed Len Chac?
